Carly Pearce Learned A Lot From Tim McGraw
Carly Pearce is embarking on a tour of Europe this week with dates all over several countries. Pearce recently got to spend several months on the road with Tim McGraw, opening for him on his “Standing Room Only Tour.” Carly knows that Tim has built an enviable career spanning over three decades, so getting to spend time with him on the road was a great learning experience and a tremendous opportunity.
Pearce told us in a recent interview, “I loved being out on the road with Tim McGraw. He is just an incredible performer, an incredible artist, entertainer, but more than anything, he’s just a wonderful person.”
She added, “I think that I learned more about why his career has elevated over decades, just because of his work ethic and his kind heart.”

McGraw began his career almost 35 years ago, which means he has been building his fan base for generations. One of the coolest things to him is to look out into his crowds when he’s on stage and see just how diverse in age his fans are.
Tim told us recently, “It’s pretty awesome to go out there and see how many young people are in the audience and are embracing the music and know the songs. It’s something that you don’t expect all the time. And when you see three generations of a family that have been to your concerts that are out there, and then a young family that is bringing their young kids, they’re seven, eight, 10-year-old kids to the show, and they’re having fun, and they know the words, and they have signs and everything.”
He added, “It just really makes you think that, uh, gosh, you’ve been around a while (big laugh). But I never take it for granted. I can tell you that, and it’s always great to have new people come and start listening to your stuff.”
McGraw posted the sweetest birthday message to his wife, Faith Hill. He does so every year on her birthday. He does say a lot of special things about her and brags about her just a little.
Tim posted a few weeks ago, “Happy birthday to this remarkable woman! My beautiful, strong, crazy, badass wife!!!! I love my girl with everything that I am and could ever hope to be! She is our beacon, our rock, our strength. The girls and I are so very blessed! Our girls could not have a better role model in their lives as how to be an incredibly strong woman. And how to believe in themselves and be in charge of their lives (every aspect of their lives)! Let’s honor the women in our lives with respect and make sure that we fight for their rights right alongside them!”
